No penalty was called on Morrissey, who went on to help set up Mark Scheifele's game-winning goal while making numerous strong defensive plays in the 2-0 victory that put the Jets up 3-1 in the best-of-seven series. The Thunder Bay, Ont., native was slow to gain his footing and skated gingerly to the Minnesota bench. Not only would it have been a 5-on-3 powerplay, but Boudreau believes Morrissey should have been thrown out of the game. "I'm not up here trying gamesmanship to get the league to call extra stuff". It is what it is, though. "It was a vicious cross-check to the face", Boudreau said.

Staal, the Wild's most effective player until the hit on Tuesday, was still fuming after the game. "I'm in the middle of the game", Staal said.

"I'm the tallest guy on the ice".

Had Morrissey been penalized, the Wild would have had a 5-on-3 advantage.

After a six-goal outburst in Game 3 that prompted Maurice to pull Hellebuyck after two periods, only his second early exit of the season, the Wild had trouble generating the same kind of organized and relentless attack.
